I ride around with my visor open most of the time. That would have been extremely bad news.

Extremely bad tasting too.

I think you got a whole squadron!

I've had similar scary moments going into shady bits under trees that were hiding swarms of the buggers. The temptation is always a little wipe of the finger isn't it?

However, well done there mate!
That's an impressive attempt at genocide.

The rumour is that midges will be somewhat reduced in number this season due to the frequent cold spells this year running right up til about a fortnight ago.

21C today here though so hoping we're lucky for GM3!

Jesus, wow.

I'm never complaining about splattering flies on my car windscreen again!

What did it smell like??

Like you say, could have caused bad accident.

Well done!
